ICM
In-line Contamination Monitor
The ICM automatically measures and
displays particulate contamination,
moisture and temperature levels in
various hydraulic fluids. It is designed
specifically to be mounted directly to
systems, where ongoing measurement
or analysis is required, and where
space and costs are limited.
● 8 channel contamination
measurement & display
● Measures and displays the
following international standard
formats; ISO 4406:1999,
NAS 1638, AS 4059E and
ISO 11218
● Moisture and temperature sensing
● Data logging and 4000 test result
memory
● Manual, automatic and remote
control flexibility
● Multicolour LED and remote alarm
signals
● Robust die cast aluminium

ICM with Flow Control Valve and Minimess fitting
M N S Fluid Compatability
K Keypad Option
The ICM can operate across a number of fluid types.
The fluid compatability option meets the needs of
most major hydraulic markets.
M = Synthetic, petroleum & mineral based fluids.
N*= Offshore and selected water based fluids.
S*= P hosphate Ester & Aggressive fluid
applications**.
K version
Non K version
R Relays
The ICM “R” option displays & operates over
8 channels comprehensively covering all of
the applied standard formats. It allows fully
customisable alarm settings and indicates these
via a multicolour LED and/or remote devices.
Alarm Types
● Contamination codes and/or individual particle sizes
● Water content ● Temperature
* Note; When purchasing an “R” model, the alarms are factory set to off,
and must be activated via LPA View
LED indicator colours
● - Test OK
● - Lower cleanliness level exceeded. Upper limit ok
● - Upper cleanliness level exceeded
● - Upper water content limite exceeded
●●- R ed/Blue alternating indicates cleanliness and
water limit have been exceeded
● - Upper temperature limit exceeded
*Please note, the N & S versions are supplied with an anodised aluminium
outer casing and are not available with water sensing option. The M version
can be supplied with either a polyester vinyl paint or anodised finish. See
specification table for more details. ** Consult MP Filtri.
W Water and Temperature
Sensing
The ICM “W” option
indicates water content as
a percentage of saturation
and oil temperature in
degrees centigrade. 100% RH
corresponds to the point at
which free water can exist in the
fluid. i.e. the fluid is no longer
able to hold the water in a dissolved solution.
The sensor provides early indication of costly
failure due to free water, including but not
exclusive to;
● Corrosion
● Metal surface fatigue e.g. bearing failure
● R
educed lubrication & load carrying
characteristics
* Note; Alarm limits shall be defined and enabled by the user

ICM “USBi” Connector
ICM-RDU
The USBi transmits power and allows the ICM to
communicate with a PC or laptop. Where customers wish
to wire to external devices the USBi has an extra terminal
block inside for this purpose. An external DC adaptor can
be used to power the complete system, or if a computer
is always connected during use, the ICM can be powered
directly from the USB cable.
The ICM RDU (Remote Display Unit) is
advantageous when the ICM is out of reach
or in a location unsuitable for viewing. The
ICM can also be controlled via the RDU.
How to order
Order 1 x ICM-USBi
*Note; Installation dimensions are the same as the ICM.
How to order

ICM-FC1
Offline Filtration Units
A pressure compensated flow control valve
specifically designed to fit the ICM. This may be
needed if the application produces an oil flow greater
than 400ml/min through the ICM.
Offline filtration units with integrated ICM
are available – please consult
MP Filtri for further information
ICM-FC1 - is supplied with adaptors which enable the
valve to be fitted to the ICM. The valve outlet port
has a minimess fitting installed as a standard option.
Max Pressure - 400barg
Usable Flow Range -4barg to 400barg ΔP
